World’s First Quiet Treehouse Provides Safe Haven in a Noisy Environment

Living in a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/noise-pollution/" target="_blank">noise-filled world</a> isn't just annoying--it can also be hazardous to your health. To create a safe haven from the onslaught of noise, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/blue-forest" target="_blank">Blue Forest</a> designed the world's first Quiet Treehouse, an enchanting and acoustically engineered timber structure. The cocoon-like treehouse was created in collaboration with <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/" target="_blank">John Lewis</a> and the Britain-based nonprofit <a href="http://www.quietmark.com" target="_blank">Quiet Mark</a>, and will be donated to The Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice in West Sussex.

Inspired by the shape of a small coppice of trees, the gorgeous rounded treehouse sits on top three ribbed tree trunk structures.

The cozy and contemporary treehouse is also equipped with next generation sound engineering to insulate children and families from harmful excessive noise.

The Queit Treehouse was designed to be easily dismantled for a temporary show but rugged enough to be rebuilt for permanent outdoor use.

The treehouse can be installed independently of a host tree.

The treehouse construction materials were donated by many famous and sustainable brands, including Kebony, Acoustiblok, and Rockwool.

The Quiet Treehouse will be unveiled this Friday at the Ideal Home Show at London's Earls Court and will be on display until the end of March.
